Realme launched the P3 series earlier this year, now it ticks up to the P4 generation. Both phones have massive 7,000mAh batteries with fast 80W charging along with large 144Hz OLED displays with 6.8” diagonals (or so). The Realme P4 Pro is not a wholly unique model, rather it’s quite close to the Realme 15 Pro – the 50MP ultra-wide camera is replaced by a more basic 8MP unit and the build has been altered by dropping the aluminum frame and reducing the IP68/IP69 rating down to IP65/IP66, but that’s about it.

The latest official-looking renders showcase the foldable in both shades, offering a complete look from every angle.

According to a new report purportedly based on internal Apple developer code, the company is currently busy exploring ways to bring Touch ID (aka a fingerprint scanner if you don't live in Apple's world) to its watches. This will arrive next year at the earliest, so presumably on the Apple Watch Ultra 4. The code in question specifically references "AppleMesa", which has long been the company's internal codename for Touch ID. Since the code is for internal use only, the idea is most likely still in the prototype stage. Hence, none of the watches coming out this year will have the...
